Quick, Easy, Low Carb Recipe: Shrimp Alfredo on Zoodles!

Today my daughter had soccer at 11:30, so the game wasn't over until almost 1. We had a few errands to run while we were out and about. By the time we made it home at 2:30, we were all starving!

Being low carb can sometimes seem like a pain, because you can't just pop some corndogs in the oven, or microwave a burrito, or pick up a pizza. But, there are actually lots of quick, easy options that can keep you in ketosis.

 

Today I pulled lunch off from start to finish in under 20 minutes!

Low Carb Comfort Food? It's Roast with Gravy!

It seems like most "comfort foods" are sky-high in carbs.

If you miss them, I've got a good one for you today.

It is not the "cleanest" meal ever, because it does have a few processed foods in it. So it won't work for some of you food "purists" (no judgment either way...promise).

But, if you're faced with falling off the wagon or fudging just a little...well, I think the latter would be the better option.

So here it is:

Low Carb Roast with Gravy

Low Carb, Gluten Free Ranch Chicken

Chicken Quarters are Cheap(er)!

So, yes, I appreciate recipes that incorporate chicken quarters. After all, you can get them for about .59/lb.

 

I've got a WONDERFUL recipe for you.

It is a HUGE favorite at our home.

Low Carb Shepherd's Pie Recipe

Shepherd's Pie more healthy? Yep!

One of my fave comfort foods, and I figured out how to make it low carb.

I like it, the hubby likes it, and the kiddos like it.

Hope you will try it and like it, too!

It has a few steps, but it isn't really hard.

Low Carb, Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets Recipe Your Kids Will Love!

While all my family likes chicken nuggets, my 6 year old daughter LOVES them.

Intensely.

And while I do occasionally buy her the highly processed junk from the local fast food joint, I really prefer to serve her some that I've made myself...and that I can eat as well.

 

So, here's my recipe for Low Carb Chicken Nuggets.

And I hope that you and yours will like them as much as me and mine do!

  

Simple, Lower Carb, Organic, Gluten Free Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

If you've ever looked at the nutrition label on spaghetti sauce, you might have been surprised by the

sugar that's there.

I was.

 

It wasn't until I started my Low Carb journey

4 years ago that I began to see that

SUGAR is added to nearly everything.

Just take a look.

They put it in salad dressing, even!

 

So, I set out to make my own tomato-based sauce, because I am always drawn to Italian-type dishes, which often include tomato sauces.

Here's what I came up with, and am quite fond of.

 

EZ, Super Tasty Low Carb Beef Enchiladas

This recipe is amazing. Everyone in my family raved.

 

Here's what you will need:

1-2 lbs ground beef (I only used 1 to save $$, but go with 2 for a more substantial meal)

Enchilada sauce (10 oz can)

Roughly 2-3 cups of grated cheese (I used Colby-Jack)

Super Secret Ingredient Low Carb Chili...shhh don't tell

What did you say you put in this?!?!?

That's the kind of reaction you might get if you tell people about the secret ingredient.

Just keep it to yourself.

Seriously.

My family eats this about every other week or so during cold months, and they still have no idea about the secret ingredient.

As a matter of fact, when I prepare this, I quickly open the Super Secret Ingredient's can, empty it into the pot and quickly (& quietly) throw it into the trash, making sure it ends up covered by something else.

Low Carb Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Have you tried spaghetti squash?

It's kind of sweet in flavor (like sweet potatoes) when left plain, but when added to other savory foods, it takes on a savory quality.
